bpf: mark a NULL kfunc argument precisegrafted
check_kfunc_arg() allows bpf_register_is_null() for nullable arguments w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value. Fixes: 3bda08b63670 ("bpf: Allow NULL buffers in bpf_dynptr_slice(_rw)") Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260904-register-is-null-precise-fixes-v1-5-0f5a360ff15d@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

+//! Build-time error.
+//!
+//! This crate provides a [const function][const-functions] `build_error`, which will panic in
+//! compile-time if executed in [const context][const-context], and will cause a build error
+//! if not executed at compile time and the optimizer does not optimise away the call.
+//!
+//! It is used by `build_assert!` in the kernel crate, allowing checking of
+//! conditions that could be checked statically, but could not be enforced in
+//! Rust yet (e.g. perform some checks in [const functions][const-functions], but those
+//! functions could still be called in the runtime).
+//!
+//! For details on constant evaluation in Rust, please see the [Reference][const-eval].
+//!
